RMIT University, Melbourne

Choosing Melbourne and RMIT has been the best decision I have ever made.

For Hugo, it didn’t take much research for him to see the great opportunities Melbourne had to offer, from its cultural diversity to scenic beaches. Studying Biology at his home institution, Hugo was convinced to come to RMIT for its advanced science labs. As well as appreciating the study options at RMIT, Hugo says the best thing about Melbourne for him is the ability to travel, with plans for the end of semester to go to Sydney, Brisbane, Cairns, Darwin and Perth.

Hugo recommends RMIT for the opportunities it offers students, from hands-on assignments, smaller classroom sizes, very helpful professors, organised trips and tours, and greater variety in courses available. He has had such a great time he says, "If anyone from my home university ever thought to come to Australia to study aboard, I would hands down recommend RMIT as the best university to apply to."
